I'm in class right now, ask me anything.

[LeftyMom]

Well, I'm signed onto the board for my online composition class and having finished the reading part of this week's assignment I'm brainstorming my first paper anyhow.

[bridgit]

1. omg, you're still in class @ 9:43pm?

good grief x(

[LeftyMom]

2. Internets.

I left the actual class at 5 and don't have to go back until November. :)

[bridgit]

3. whew, was about to say...

:hi:

[WCGreen]

6. That's a long mutha fuckin' break.....

[LeftyMom]

8. Even then I just have to run by and turn in a paper

Even my final is online. It's kinda cool since I can do my work at odd hours or in my skivvies if I want.

[WCGreen]

9. Now that is a school....

I would love to attend....

The skivvies, part I mean....

The rest...

Not so much...

[LeftyMom]

11. All my other classes are the usual in person, uncomfortable chairs thing.

If I like this format I'm hoping I can do more this way next term.

[WCGreen]

12. I'm starting a Creative Writing Class on Tuesday.....

two days a week from now until December...

I'm going cause I am a middle aged man who get's to mingle with young women....

[LeftyMom]

13. That sounds like fun.

:woohoo:

[WCGreen]

14. It really does....

And I am trying desperatly not to think of what I will write until I get into class...

[LeftyMom]

15. That's a good idea.

I don't think I'd do well in a creative writing class. I'm not so hot at that kind of thing, though I write essays and speeches well.

[WCGreen]

30. I guess I'm pretty good at that....

I have had several political figures here use my speeches...

And I have had over 100 essays published locally...

And, I got paid...

[LeftyMom]

31. Okay, you're better at that than me too.

:hide:

[WCGreen]

32. I'm sorry.... I wasn't bragging.... I've been at this for decades....

And I want to get some fiction published...

I have dozens of rejects and returned SASE....

Although I think a few right wingers would think a lot of the stuff I have written is fiction...

[LeftyMom]

33. No I'm teasing.

I'm actually writing my first paper right now (is it just me or is the goal paper the "what I did this summer' for the college set?) and talking about how I want to use my education and my writing skills to do some campaign work and to further causes that matter to me. So hearing you say that you're doing it is hardly discouraging. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Maybe the right wingers would like to think .......

that it's fiction......

But you write so well we all know it's for real.........

[flvegan]

4. Isn't this like, your first week? Shouldn't you be rushing a sorority or

something? Doing kegstands and mudwrestling? Jesus...what happened to college? Did I get old all of a sudden?

Kidding, love. Very proud of you.

[LeftyMom]

5. Oh I got sexed into a gang earlier, didn't I mention that when I PM'd?

whoops. :dunce:

[flvegan]

7. She's all grown up now.

Back to your studies. There'll be plenty of time for gang-sexing after midterms.

[LeftyMom]

10. Hey guess what, I get to write on anything that's important enough to me

that I can stick with the same topic all semester, interview people and read a shitton of books on the subject.

Hold on, I'm thinking... :P

[flvegan]

16. Aha, you'll do great, of course..

[LeftyMom]

17. I don't know. I have to interview people (a whopping 2, but still.)

Certainly I don't know anybody with connections who could help make that happen. :loveya:

[flvegan]

18. Oh, NOW I see how it is.

You tell me who you want to talk to, and I'll name my price.

*rubs hands together fiendishly*

[LeftyMom]

19. I know what your price is.

You'd get it anyhow. Maybe soon. :)

[flvegan]

20. Uh huh. Don't think

that I'll be crying out Rod's cell phone number or Best's e-mail addy. It'll take more than that!

BTW, Agent Mike, I have neither.

[LeftyMom]

21. Agent Mike doesn't belive you.

Remember what I emailed you about most recently? Uh huh. I win. :P

[UrbScotty]

22. Who has more class: Joe Lieberman or Dick Cheney? (nt)

[LeftyMom]

23. Lieberman, because at least he knows how to dress.

24. My dear LeftyMom!

I think your school sounds wonderful!

How many units are you carrying? (I know, it's a dumb question....but you said anything!)

Online classes sound like the way to go, if you have the discipline to stick to them!

[LeftyMom]

25. I have 15 units right now.

Wanna hear something cool? I wrote 3/4 of my first paper in the time it took for this thread to reach this point. :bounce:

[flvegan]

26. Uhh...heh heh...she said she has 15 "units" Uhhhh...heh...heh...

You said "units"

[LeftyMom]

28. Silly.

:*

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Wow, that's great!

There will be no stopping you!

You go, girl!

:bounce: :bounce:

[LeftyMom]

29. I hope so.

:)
